To put it simply, in modern terms, they're like best buddies.
When the original owner was still the eldest grandson of the emperor, he ate and lived with Hou Fang, and went boating on the lake to enjoy the moon together.
Yi Mu pondered, "The High Priest can't marry or have children his whole life. Isn't that forcing people into homosexuality?"
The original owner was beautiful and attractive, exactly the type of woman men liked.
Based on the fragments of memory, Hou Fang clearly had feelings for the original owner.
Fu Xi was also so happy upon hearing that the Imperial Preceptor was going to return to the capital that he was practically incoherent with joy.
According to him, the emperor would be overjoyed to see his friend, who had been traveling abroad for two years, return.
Yi Mu is currently in a relationship with Bei Menlin. If his exceptionally talented best friend returns and does something out of line, Yi Mu doesn't want to try to appease the jealous Regent.
While he was pondering this, the Imperial Advisor had already rushed into the capital.
After Yi Mu finished his court session, he saw a guard in soft armor running towards him from afar, his face beaming with joy.
"Your Majesty! The Imperial Advisor has arrived at the Imperial Gate and will be able to see Your Majesty in half an hour."
Looking at the genuine joy on his face, Yi Mu wondered why the Imperial Advisor was so popular.
Back in his study, Fuxi immediately ordered his servants to prepare tea and pastries.
Seeing how enthusiastic the master was, Yi Mu was almost jealous of the national advisor.
He held the memorials handed to him by the ministers and read them for a while, his mouth becoming dry from the heat of the charcoal fire in the room.
"Fuxi, tea."
I called twice, but there was no response.
Yi Mu put down the folded document in his hand, looked up, and saw a cup of tea being handed to him.
The person holding the teacup had a handsome and refined appearance, and his whole demeanor was like a gentle moon, exuding a tender and intellectual temperament.
This is Hou Fang, the original owner's best friend, who was only twenty years old.
Yi Mu accepted the tea.
Before he could speak, the legendary, refined and wise Grand Tutor, like a koala, grabbed Yi Muxiong and hugged him tightly.
"Little Mumu, I've missed you so much! Kisses!"
Before Yi Mu could resist, he was brutally bitten twice in the face.
Fuxi, who had been ordered by the Grand Preceptor to wait outside, bowed as he entered the room.
"Your Majesty, the Regent requests an audience."
Hou Fang raised an eyebrow. When did a regent appear in the court?
Upon hearing that Beimen Lin had arrived, Yi Mu quickly pried Hou Fang's hand away, told him to get up, and sat up straight, picking up the memorial as if nothing had happened.
Bei Menlin entered the study and saw a familiar-looking man smiling and staring at Yi Mu.
How to describe that look in his eyes? It was gentle yet full of care, clearly not from an ordinary person.
Hearing the commotion, Hou Fang turned to look at Bei Menlin, a look of surprise on his face.
"General! When did you become the Regent?"
Yi Mu calmly took a sip of tea, and before Bei Menlin could reply, "One month ago, did Your Highness still remember the Imperial Advisor?"
Bei Menlin looked Hou Fang up and down, a forced smile on his face: "So it's the Imperial Advisor. I was blind to have failed to recognize you."
Hou Fang grew up with Bei Menmu and knew that he was most wary of Bei Menlin, so their relationship was just so-so.
The two exchanged a few words in a lukewarm manner, as if exchanging a few witty remarks.
Yi Mu was caught in the middle, so embarrassed he wanted to crawl into a hole.
Fuxi was perceptive; seeing that it was almost lunchtime, he ordered someone to take the Imperial Preceptor to wash up first, so that they could have lunch together with the Emperor and the Regent later.
After Hou Fang left, Bei Menlin braced his arms on the table, his face very close to Yi Mu's, his voice containing a questioning tone.
"Why did this kid come back early? What did he say to you?" A wave of bitterness washed over me.
